The carton 15 according to FIGS. 1-4 contains an article 16 which has a cylindrical body 17 and a cap 18. The carton has a bottom wall 20, a front wall 21, side walls 22, an upper end wall 23 and a lower end wall The front wall 21 consists of two inwardly directed side flaps 27 and two corner-forming sections 28 of the upper end.

The sections 28 forming the corners are provided with the side flaps 27 along fold lines 30 and with a primary front flap 31 connected via fold lines 32 which run into the front flap. The sections 28 forming the corners have free ones Edges in the form of the cut edges 33, which bear against the cap of the object 16 in order to hold it in the box. The relationship of the parts to one another is best seen in Fig. Which is a plan view of the blank for shows the box. From this it can be seen that the front, bottom and side panels are arranged in a row along longitudinal fold lines 36 are connected and an adhesive flap 37 is also connected to the bottom wall 20, which is attached to the free side of the Wall 22 can be attached.

The side walls 22 have lateral end flaps 38 on the top of the carton, which over the front of the carton

00981 1/0299

can be folded. The upper main front flap 31, the is above the rare front flaps 33 is with the front wall connected and contains a display wall 39. The corners forming sections 28 are in this embodiment essentially triangular, even if this is not necessary, as can be seen from the modification shape described below is. These sections are in turn indicated by fold lines 32 limited, which together a protruding into the front flap 31 form a narrow V. The fact that the split lines 32 run into this flap is of crucial importance, as it does so Enough cardboard is provided to hold the one-piece Forming the sections forming the corners and the side flaps and pressing them into the carton for manufacture of the miter edges on the front wall. The those Corner forming portions 28 are also delimited by the fold lines 30 and the cut edges 33, which an opening form into which the object protrudes and is fixed therein. The fold lines 30 can partially as Slots should be formed if this is to avoid chip information in the box is required.

The construction of an opposite end face of the carton is described in the above-mentioned US patent application. Br

consists of a secondary tab 41 , which are connected to main tabs 42, which in turn lie on the side wall 22. A retaining tab 43 can be used to achieve additional stiffening of the bulkhead structure. The end wall structure also contains a primary flap 44 'which ends in a display wall 45 which has a recess 46 for receiving one end of the object. Even if the construction of the carton according to the invention is the same as that of the earlier carton, the savings in material can be clearly seen by comparing the longitudinal dimensions in the direction of the lines 36 of the corresponding display walls 39 and 45. The difference in length represents the savings achieved by replacing the structure with the modified one, which only requires the display wall 39 instead of the longer display wall 45.

The way in which the bulkhead structure according to the invention is set up is in Pig. 6 shown. The blank is first folded so that the adhesive flap 37 on the side wall 22 can be glued in the usual way. Then the blank set up rectangular in the shape shown in Fig. 6 and then the side flaps 38 inward and the

00981 1/0299

Primary glass 31 folded over the front wall, the display wall 39 protrudes into the box. As mentioned above, the way of putting up a box is common in the Production of flat display or plug-in display boxes and does not require any adaptation of the machines previously used for this purpose.

The opposite end of the box is, as in Pig. 7 and described in the above-mentioned United States patent application. The main tabs 42 are folded inwards and bring the secondary flap across the front of the box. The primary marriage 44 becomes then folded over the secondary flap 41 and pressed the display wall 45 into the box, so that the Pig. 2 shown Angular position is reached. Hachdem the front sides of the box are set up in this way, it is attached to its front by inserting the lower end of the Body 17 of the object 16 in the recess 46 and pivoting of the end of the cap to the opposite face. The pressure of the object on the opposite The end pushes the side flaps 27 inwards and their connection with the sections forming the "corners"

causes the corner forming sections to also follow swivel inside. The elasticity of the cardboard allows the cap side of the item to be below the cut edges 33 of the corner forming sections is inserted. This way the item is safely on after insertion one end by resting its body portion in the recess 46 of the opening wall 45 and by resting the cap held at the cut edges 33 of the sections forming the corners.

A modification of the invention using the principles of the front wall and end wall construction as described above is disclosed in Pig. 8-12. This carton can contain an irregularly shaped object, such as the bottle 50, which has a cap 51 at its upper end. The bottle is contained in the carton 52 which has a bottom wall 53, side walls 54 and a front wall. The front wall consists of two side flaps 56, which at their upper end by miter fold lines 57 with corner forming sections 58 and at the lower end by miter fold lines 60 with corner forming sections 61 _; connected aind The corners forming sections 58 at the upper end have cut edges 64, which on the cap dta opposing
